Description: Praise for Goodbye For Now "Frankel presents a fascinating concept as she keenly and sensitively explores themes of love and loss in this tearjerker centered on technology that pushes the boundaries of artificial intelligence. A compelling novel that tugs at the heartstrings; keep tissues handy." - Booklist (Starred) "The Social Network meets One Day in an attractive love-and-loss story that applies new technology to the job of soothing broken heartsThere's no denying Frankel's warmth, wit and ingenuity in this cleverly conceived charmer." - Kirkus Reviews "Frankel tells a touching story of how this young couple deals with a new love in a world full of loss and sadness. Her first novel, The Atlas of Love, was a wonderful, heartfelt read, and while this book has a completely different story line, it retains that emotional core. Frankel is an author to watch and definitely to keep in stock." - Library Journal (Starred) "If you like your love stories modern, clever, and a little weepy (think One Day ), you will adore this." - Redbook's Sizzling Summer Reading List "Computer science flirts with sci-fi when a programmer creates software that (almost) lets the living talk with the departed." - Sacramento Bee "Clever, funny, moving, intelligent, Goodbye For Now is about love and loss, real live emotions and human relationships in a cyber world taken to its extreme. Will Laurie Frankel's wonderful book capture your heart and imagination? Absolutely. You will laugh; you will cry. And you will probably start video chatting with your loved ones daily, just in case an inspired computer genius jumps on Frankel's idea." - Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain " Goodbye For Now is a fabulous, original read-very funny, yet so sad and thought-provoking too. I couldn't put it down." -Liane Moriarty, bestselling author of What Alice Forgot "Somewhere in the middle of Goodbye For Now, I found myself getting angry at Laurie Frankel for moving so seamlessly between hilarious and devastating, and for making me feel so deeply for her characters. I offer this as both recommendation and warning: this book will engross you and affect you, and you should know that you won't be putting it down unchanged." -Carolyn Parkhurst, New York Times bestselling author of The Dogs of Babel and The Nobodies Album
